After a long break we are now diving into too many projects again. Tomorrow we head back to the future . . . our 90's fireplace will begin its transformation into the present time. Currently it looks like this:

So, you can see why we want to change it's appearance. Granted this picture was from the day we moved in so our stuff it piled on top - but you get the idea. Oddly shaped fireplace + pink tile = ugly. We (well, Marco) are going to frame it out and add shelves on the sides to look like this:

Add a nice mantle, some new tile and a granite slab and we are in business! Oh, and I can FINALLY hang up the mirror I picked up in Baltimore - which seems like ages ago. delightful.

Alright, so Benny is not my real name. It's my nickname. In fact...I am a lady (by gender, not necessarily by attitude). But, it is fun, and makes me feel "tougher" when talking about painting and tiling and smashing things.
I didn't give it to myself. It is a childhood nickname which came from Benjamin Bunny (the cousin of Peter Rabbit).
In fact, Benny is a common nickname for Bernadette. Ever see Circle of Friends with Minnie Driver? Yup, her name was Benny in that.
